Pirate's Parrot Show: Eye-to-Eye
I rarely pass up the opportunity to visit parrots whenever I am near them, and I was delighted at the educational parrot show put on at the Jackson County Fair a few weeks ago. The man in command, Chris Biro, has dedicated his life to educating the public about parrots and their plight, but in a way that's fun and interesting for everyone, including the birds. These captive parrots have the unique opportunity to fly as they please, and it's Chris Bro's gift to these rescue birds who all love this man with a mission..
Chris showed off his talented birds and taught the crowd things like why parrots are different than other birds, and why they are endangered in the wild. At the end of the show, he allowed the audience to line up and get the chance to hold the amazing Blue & Gold macaw in the picture above. I got a magic shot of this little boy who is realizing just how amazing and intelligent this bird is as the two look into one another's eyes. A very cool thing to witness.
If you missed my information on this macaw in the first image I posted of a Blue & Gold., here it is again:
The magnificent Blue & Gold macaw, also known as a Blue & Yellow macaw or "B&G", is a fairly common wild macaw in much of South America, but is extinct, extremely threatened or endangered in many places where it was once common. This is all because of the pet trade, but bans on the import of wild parrots has helped stopped this, and some bird populations are recovering.
If you would like to know more about Blue & Gold macaws, Wiki has a page here: Wiki: Blue and Gold Macaw
If you would like to know about Chris Biro's wonderful parrot conservation organization, please visit Bird Recovery International
By the way, I've uploaded two other pictures today and I hope you'll visit them too!
Thanks to all of you who have visited and have left comments and favorites! I try to go to all of your pages within a day or two and is a highlight for me to see your beautiful photography! :)
